"Eye-opening . . . Overall, it's a light and entertaining read, but
still smart and insightful. Like the best office gossip."--Colorado Springs
Independent

"Druckerman interviews cheaters, sexologists, marriage
counselors and 'relationship entrepreneurs' from France to China and comes up
with a delightful look at different societies. "--The San Diego Union-Tribune

"It's
funny, it's compulsive, it's surprising, it's the million soap operas that make
up other people's love lives."--The
Observer (London)

''This engagingly written, intellectually
provocative book is sure to be hotly debated by special-interest groups and
individuals who think they know what's best for everybody else."--Booklist

"Deliciously entertaining. In
her witty and eye-opening debut, Druckerman takes the reader on a global romp
that breezily punctures American sanctimony while dishing up cultural secrets.
All the fun of an illicit affair with none of the guilt." --Elisabeth Eaves,
author of Bare: The Naked Truth About
Stripping

"This is a wonderful book -- highly readable and filled
with provocative insights drawn from the author's own keenly observed
experiences and the scholarly literature. Lust
in Translation gives us fascinating glimpses into how different cultures
approach the concept of fidelity. Ultimately, Druckerman forces us to
acknowledge that, while there may well be an 'international language of love,'
it seems to have many dialects." --Hella Winston, author of Unchosen
